Storyboard Text

Pompeii was a city in italy. At least 200,000 people were citizens at the time. All was going well till...﻿

MT. Vesuvius was a volcano next to the city and naples. It had erupted many times before.﻿

But never as violent as the eruption on August 79 AD.﻿

It destroyed anything within 15 miles. But the clogged air, ash and smoke reached out much farther.﻿

Most were able to evacuate before it got worse but at least 2 thousand didnt, and didnt survive.﻿ The ash and smoke clogged the air making it hard to breathe. Everything was covered in ash. People were plastered in ash.

﻿Most of pompeii was covered in this ash and was abandoned. But in 1748, some explorers removed the ash, that had preserved a lot. Most buildings were still intact alowing for scientists to research life and artifacts from pompeii.
